Frilian: Starting with Wind Spirit and Moon Shadow, Playing Through the Heavens

So she hurriedly hid the pipe on the table and awkwardly straightened her already meager wardrobe.

Once her demeanor returned to normal, she gave Ronan a harmless smile:

"Yes, is that so? Does that mean we demons can stand in the sunlight too?"

"Could you be the newly appointed Demon Duke?"

In her mind, only the Demon Duke had the power to rule over another Demon Duke.

Although this happened very suddenly, who can say for sure what happens in hell?

Ronan gently shook his head: "No, I am human."

"Humans, humans, humans are good too... wait, what?"

Hyunica's eyes widened in surprise, her red lips involuntarily parting slightly.

Why do humans—

This was the first thought that flashed through her mind, but then she felt a deep sense of relief.

After all, gaining the trust of humans is far more crucial for living in the human world than gaining the trust of demons.

Moreover, since Lord Barnier regards this person as his master, his strength must be considerable.

……

……

"Yes, I understand. So you are the hero who saved the world just now."

After a while, on the sofa, Hyunica gently stroked the rim of her teacup with her fingers, her tone tinged with a hint of helplessness.

“You are quite different from the heroes I have met before.”

"We just run a small shop here, letting adventurers dream and extract a small amount of energy from it to barely make a living."

"But they always threaten to kill us."

After saying that, she sighed with a wry smile.

After venting her emotions, she immediately went to call all her fellow refugees back.

While waiting for their arrival, the quick-witted Shunika suddenly remembered something, her brow furrowing slightly as she asked:

"believer?"

"If I remember correctly, this is something only gods need, Hero..."

boom!

Before he could finish speaking, Barnier slammed his teacup on the table, interrupting him:

"I've already said all this, don't you understand yet? How could a mere human possibly make me submit!"

"Our Lord is a god, but he only appears to be human!"

"Huh—!"

Hyunica was so shocked that she covered her mouth, her lips trembling and unable to close.

For a moment, even breathing stopped, and toes tensed.

"How...how..."

Her mind went blank, filled with confusion.

Why would Lord Barnier acknowledge a god as his master?

Isn't it said that the devil is not tolerated by God?

Where did the problem occur?

"That's why it's so precious, isn't it?"

Barnier saw through Shoshka's thoughts, calmly picked up his teacup, and took another sip.

"Our Lord is the first god who does not harbor pure hostility toward the demon race."

"This is why we are willing to have faith."

After saying that, he frowned, spat out the dirt from his teacup, and muttered a complaint under his breath:

"Pah, why does this dirt taste so awful?"

"You added water?"

Seeing this, Humphrey quickly ran to get a new cup.

When she returned, she handed the teacup to Barnier; she had made her decision.

After all... thinking about the various restrictions that demons face on Earth.

She took a deep breath, lowered her voice, and said solemnly:

"I...I understand."

"If that's the case, then Humphrey is willing to pledge her allegiance to the Hero, together with all the succubi."

"May I ask, what do we need to do?"

As she spoke, all her girlfriends returned to the store.

They may be tall or short, plump or slender, but they all have one thing in common: they are only wearing underwear.

As soon as they entered, they started chattering away like sparrows, and a few even curiously peeked out to examine Ronan.

Seeing this, Barnier frowned and gave a low shout:

"Quiet!"

The atmosphere here became solemn.

He nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

"My lord, please continue."

"Ah."

Ronan sensed the power of faith emanating from the air and found it to be no different from what humans offered. After pondering for a moment, he slowly spoke—

……

"jingle."

Another tinkling of wind chimes rang out, and Ronan and Barnier left the brothel one after the other.

Inside the store, Humphrey leaned against the door frame, watching the two figures walk away with a complicated expression, her mind filled with countless thoughts.

But then she silently clenched her fist, thinking that this was a golden opportunity that she had to seize.

At this moment, a guest arrived.

"that……"

"I'm sorry," Hyunica said, taking two steps forward and politely declining.

"This shop will be closed for a while, so please come back in a few days."

She has decided to follow Ronan's advice and repackage the industry.

Simply letting adventurers dream about things is far too uncompetitive.

Moreover, any succubus can do this, which is easily criticized as vulgar.

If this continues, no matter how promising the industry's prospects are, it will never be able to operate in the open.

But if it's turned into the idol industry, the situation is quite different.

"Resting? How long will that take?"

The adventurer scratched his head, and his surprised and disappointed words brought Hyunika back to her senses.

She waved her hand:

"I don't know, it might take a month, or it might take a year. In any case, the next time I will bring you a completely new experience."

She is not worried that the industry will be replaced by others during her absence.

Because all the succubi are under Ronan's supervision.

Upon hearing this, the adventurer could only retreat sheepishly, secretly anticipating what the new experience would be like in a while.

After the other party left, Humphrey slammed the door shut and led the fifty-odd girls from the shop back to hell for further training.

……

"My lord, what do you think? Is their faith pure?"

Barnier stroked his chin, his tone tinged with a hint of emotion.

"I've said it before, demons also have faith, they've just always been looked down upon by the gods."

Ronan listened and nodded slightly, agreeing.

He pondered for a moment and asked, "If I were to unify Hell, how much faith power do you think would be generated?"

Since the power of faith provided by demons is no different from that of humans, perhaps hell could be developed into a continuous source of faith.

The title "Lord of Hell" sounds intriguing.

Barnier was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting Ronan to have such great ambitions.

But for the sake of his compatriots, he could only carefully choose his words and speak slowly:

"Hmm... there are many, countless. Hell is actually located in another world, and its territory is actually much larger than this planet."

"If nothing unexpected happens, you will be able to obtain a power of faith that surpasses the combined power of those two goddesses if you unify them."

"Oh?"

This is undoubtedly good news for Ronan.

If he truly possessed that much faith power, he could easily include Celie and the others in his plan as well.

With that in mind, he ordered Banir to tell him the names and abilities of the other five demon dukes.

I plan to subdue them in a while.
